SCHOOL of GARRICK.—NOW that Miss Pore has - departed from the stage of life, the only remaining Performer of the School of the greatest Actor most probably that the world ever saw is Mr. SMITH, of Bury St. Ed mund's, a Gentleman who was once must dv servedly a great favourite with the Public, and by his talents, attainments, and good humour, the delight of private life. He is now, we understand, on the borders of 90 years of age, in complete possesSion of his mental powers, and in good bodily health. Heartily do we wish that, with out injury to himself, "be would, like his great predecessor, BETTERTON, in the year 1709, come forward, and give the rising generation " a taste of Isis quality." According to the accounts which we have heard, Orli Gentleman still possesses such corporeal strength that be would not, as on the Me• morable occasion alluded to, want a Mrs. Baran and Mrs. BRACEGIRDLE to support him, and we are sure that he would give such a lesson to the pre sent race of Actors, in taste, judgment, fee!ing, and truth, as would be benefic!al so the Art, and make the Public ashamed of the applause which they have so often lavishly bestowed whet. , there was little to excite it besides novelty. But it is with ACTING as with POETRY 5 the fantastic new School of - the latter has cast a temporary shade over those Bards, who, however, will always live in the estimation of true Critics. Not so, unfortunately, with THE ACTOR— " Feeble Tradition is his menirry's guard, " By whose faint praise his merits must abide, " Unvouch'd by proof, to substance uually'd." KEW, AUG. 1 —Yesterday Princess AUGUSTA anti the Duchess of GLOUCESTER took an air in;; in an open carriage through Richmond Park:' The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, aiteud:d by General TAYLOR, visited Sir JOSEPH and Lady BANKS, at Spring Grove. This morning the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE arrived from London ; and in the afternoon the Duke and Duciess, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and Prioress AUGUSTA', attended by Generals DEBUDE, TAYLoi,, and WyNYARD, went by water in two boats from Kew to Teddington, whence the Royal Party re turned to Kew by lanai, in two open carriages, dinner Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA took an airing to London, and returned to Kew td dinner. E.irl CRAVEN and family arrived at Southamp ton last Wednesday in his beautiful yacht, after an absence ot two years from England. The Noble Family, together with the whole of the ships' company, have enjoyed good health since their departure. The yacht touched, on her passage home, at Cadiz and Lisbon.-- There were a number of Insurgent privateers ernizing off Cape St. Vincent's and Cadiz, one of which indicated a disposition to board the Louisa, and no doubt would have done it, had she not such a warlike appearance. A few days be fore his Lordship lett Gibraltar (the fith June), his Majesty's ship Tagus, Captain DUNDAS, had sailed for Madeira. His Lordship w a s r el e a s e d from quarantine at the Mother Bank on Tuesday, and on Wednesday sailed for Southampton. His Lordship being a member of the Yacht Club, it is his intention to cruise in the neighbourhood ot the Isle of Wight, Brighton, &c. during the re maining part of the summer. A party of amateurs performed the Tragedy of Othello, at the Regency Theatre, on Friday night. flue part of Othello was represented by Mr Ana- TIN, lago by Col. BERKELEY, Cassia by the Mar guis of WORCESTER. Desdemona was performed by MrS. BARTLEY, and Emilia by Mrs. EGERTON. The representation afforded a high treat to theselect company assembled, among whom were the Dowager Marehioness of LANsnowN, Lady DASH WOOD, and Mrs. ORBY HUNTER. A general regret was expressed at the non-appearance of Miss FOOTE in the part of Desdemona; but she gratified the spectators by performing -the principal cha racter of the Farce. Two young Ladies of rank and fashion, visitors at Leamington Spa, a few mornings ago, disguis ed themselves as nosegay girls, and passed through the village with baskets of flowers on their arms ; and so great was the demand for the flowers of the incognitos, that their baskets were soon emptied by the Gentlemen, who all declared they never before beheld two such bewitching young florists. Broad -street, St. Giles's, is now handsomely illuminated with Gas, and perhaps in no part of this vast metro v olis will the improvement be of more essential benefit. • CORN MARKET, &c.

MAIDSTONE, Saturday Evening.--The brother, sisters, and other friends and relations of Hussey, were this day suffered to visit him about two o'clock. The scene was deeply affecting. He appeared rather dejected, still however persisting in his declaration of being innocent. He parted with his friends by making the following empha tic declaration :—" May God bless and preserie you ! He knows my innocence, and I trust you will believe in it also. I never yet have imbrued my hands in the blood of a fellow creature ! No, thank Heaven, from that stain I am freel The Almighty, I trust, will soon bring to light the real murderer of the unfortunate Mr. Bird and his servant." The Rev. Mr. Rudge and other religious characters are with him. It seems to have been the wish of a great many of the inha bitants of Greenwich that the execution should take place before the house of the late Mr. Bird, but as no application was made to the Court no order was issurd upon the subject. The sentence o f the law will thr etore take place at one o'clock this day (Monday) on Pennington Heath, the usual place of execution. ExECuTios.—Saturday morning, soon after eight o'clock, Jolla Biddlecomb, aged 25 years ; Nathaniel Carter, 21; and James Williams, 28, were taken from the gaol of Winchester to the place of execution, wail-re, having joined with the Chaplain in prayer, about nine o'clock they were lainichod into eternity. SUICIDE —Saturday afternoon an Inquest . was held at the sign of the Triumphant Chariot, Pem broke \lews, Grosvenor-place, before Mon ',Eters, Esq. Coroner, on the body of William Gibbons, aged 53, late porter to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, who died in St. George's Htis pital, in consequence of his cutting his throat on Tuesday last, at his Grace's - mansion, in Hamilton-Mace, Piccadilly.— It appeared, on the evidence of William Kerrison, that the de ceased tri:quently became low-spirited and me lancholy, complaining that he was getting old and infirm,,atid was tearful of losing his situ ion, and that he and his family should come to want, although at the same time he was by no means in an embarrassed state. On Tuesday morning one of the female servants discovered the deceased in the beer cellar, sitting on one of the beer barrels, with his throat cut dreadfully, and covert(' all over With blood. His Grace was informed of the circumstance, and a surgeon was immediately sent for, who came and washed•the wound, and after sewing it tip and dressing it, he ordered him to be taken to Saint George's Hospital, where he died --Mr. Kitch ing, rite hous,-stageon, said, the deceased came to the Hospital without hope of recovery, and the woitrid on the throat caused death on Friday last.-- 4 The razor, which was found in the cellar, was produced, covered with blood. Verdict— .' p,ed by his own act in cutting his throat in a state of insanity." • DOGGETT'S CT,AT AND 13AFGE.—Saturday the annual prize for the Coat and Badge, was rowed for by six watermen, whose apprenticeship ex pired last year. 'they varied at five o'clock from London Bridge, to row against tide. to the-Swan at Chelsea. The comest lay between Nichols, of Greenwich, Mailett, of the 'Temple, and Dean., of Horselydown, in which order they came in.— The first was entitled to the Coat anti Batlge, the second to 41 7a. 6rl. and the last to 21. 12s. 60. Howell, of Westminster, gave up at Blackfriars Bridge. ,Being Saturday, very few boats were on the water. • The Bank having unexpectedly declined to is sue any more Sovereigns, they are now becoming as difficult of access as the august personages they represent ; bui G CARttot.t, respecttolly acquaints the Public, that, ho , r ever scarce they may be, he is fully provident to meet his promise to those who honour him with their commands at No. 7, Corn hill, or '26, Oxford-street, to pay 2000 Sove reigns To-Morritow, when they may be drawn, with the two Prizes of 30,0001 &c &c. as all the Prizes are floating in Ibis Lottpry ; and in ad dition to the Gold, the choicest Claret, Port, and Madeira, may be selected by the Holders of the Prizes themselves. The present Lottery, which begins drawing To Moßttow, contains Two Money Prizes of 30,0001. ; and whenever the Schemes possess larger Prizes than usual, then Bisn's Offices have a greater share of patronage, as. the Public are aware he geuerallysells the large Capi;als, for i is no doubt in theirreeollection that he soldthe First 50,0001. the Last 50.0001 the Two Last 40,0001.

CAITHNESS ELECTION. , [From " The Inverness Journal," July 24.] THURSO, JULY 14.-The happy news of Mr. SINCLAIR'S* election for this County was receiv ed, by express, from Wick ; but, anticipating the result, BAILIE PATERSON, and a respectable number of Gentlemen of the town and neighb mr hood, and previously assembled at Stewart's Inn, to drink Mr. SINCLAIR'S health, and success to the family of Ulhster. In the cour,e of the even,ng a variety of loml and appropriate toasts were drank, and the jovial company (lid trot separate till an early hour this day. The town was much elated during the evening ; men carrying colours, with music, paraded the streets Iron) eight o'clock last night till two this morning, followed by a great nomber of persons, who were i f ientifuliy supplied with porter by the Gentleman in the Inn, and testified their joy by many loud cheers. There were several bonfires both iothe town and neigh- Inlorhood, and-, upon the whole, such 'general happiness and rejoicing have seldom been wii nesse(' here. We have been favoured with some further par. ticulars of the Caithness election :—lt was tinder stood that some opposition was intended, but it was found not eligible to push it, as some Free holders had arrived from Edinburgh, and eveßtrotn London, to counteract it. On the day of election, after the agitation noticed in our last had sub,ided, Mr. HORNE, of Longwell, seconded by Mr. GORDON, of Swilley, proposed that GEORGE SIN.. CLAIR, Esq. jun—of Ulbster, should be returned to represent the County ; and the unanimous ap probation of the meeting having been announced, Mr. SINCLAIR rose, and, with much animation and feeling, addressed the Freeholders nearly in the following terms : Seven years, Gentlemen, have now elapsed since you were last called upon to exercise your elective right. On that oc casion, as well as on the present, you were pleased to confer upon me the enviable distinction of representing this County in Parliament. I have thus twice obtained, through your suf frages, the highest honour which a British Commoner can either receive ur bestow. How then shall I express the feel- • ings of myheart, or convey to you, in adequate terms, the sense I entertain of the confidence so kindly reposed in me ? I know not whether in the former or in the present in stance you have conferred on me the greater . obligation.— You must, then, bate been chiefly influenced be the recollec tion of the eminent services which the revered relative, who preceded me, had rendered to his country, or! may say to man hind. You listened to the voice of private regard, which pleaded in your own breasts, on my behalf: and you were willing to place a flattering reliance on my professions of in tegrity and independence. On this occasion, Gentlemen, I perhaps may venture to hope, that, in addition to these friendly tnotives,youhave been swayed by another considera tion. Although the period was very short, during which I had the honour to represent you, it enabled my constithents to judge of my sincerity, by the unerring test of my conduct; and it afforded me an opportunity of endeavouring to redeem every pledge I had given, and to perform every promise I had mask. I have now become, for a second time, the object of your unanimous choice; may I not infer, without presump tion, that my public conduct was conformable to your expec tations ? To he numbered .among the Independent Representatires'of a Fees. People, has been, and will ever continue, the chief ob ject of my Parliamentary career. I!clo not, however, mean to content myself with a mere general expression, which may be variously understood, or even wilfully misconstrued; but shall proceed to state the meaning which I attach to the name I so fondly aspire to. There are many who identify opposition with indepen dence—who erect their own principles into an infallible standard of orthodoxy, and tax all those who differ front them with sycophancy, blindness, and servility. Tins, Gen tlemen, I have always considered to be the gee Fins ultra of p , ditical intolerance. 'risme are others who •e thank God thlit they ar4 nes n , other men are."—that they never voted in favour either of a war, or of a tax: forgetting that a war may ofte❑ be unavoidable, and a tax indispen:libly necessary ;—others again pride themselves upon a resolution never to become members of ally administration. Now, I have always thought, that any independent Senator May con scientiously accept of office under the Crown, if his opinions essentially accord with the system which the Government pursues, and it he would rather resign his situation than support any measure he condemns. Illy own opinion is, that any public man, who acts from dispassionate conviction, and without . being biassed by any selfish motive, is an indepenclent • Member of Parliament, be his politics what they may • and I chiefly claim that honourable title, because I have been chosen on independent principles, by independent Free holders, over none of 'whom I possess, or covet any influence, but that of their own esteem, and because the sentiments' which I entertain, and shall concisely bring under your view, are the result of deliberate reflection. Whoever impartially investigates the present situation of. this cutrotry, must, 1 think • (however reluctantly), admit that we have still many difficulties to content! with, and that the general distress, though considerably diminished, is by no means entirely at an end. We way indeed hope, that' (through the mercy of Divine Providence) the worst season of trial is past ; hut it would be not less dangerous to over rate the progress of our returning prosperity, than it was cruel and impolitic, during the more gloomy period of adver sity, to aggravate, by, exaggerated statements, the despon dency of a. suft'ering popuhition. The embarrassed state of our finances, the excess of our national debt, and the amount' of our annual expenditure, demand the most serious atten tion, and render it the imperative duty, both of Parliament and of Ministers, to persevere in a well regulated system of, economy. lam not, however, an advocate for carrying even a zeal for retrenchment to excess, or for dismissing with pre cipitation all the il and military servants who can possibly be dispensed with. 1 ask, whether it would be either grate ful or equitable to turn adrift at once into the wide win ld a great multitude of deserving individuals, who in the useful, though humble walks of life, have devoted many years to the service, and have no other resource than their hard-earned salaries for maintaining themselves and their families ? The Naval and Military Heroes who hare fought the battles of their country—the civil servants who have drudged in the public offices—onght surely to be treated with indulgence, or rather with justice. If their number he annually decreased, they will find, with less difficulty, employment in other chan nels : but if any great proportion were at once reduced (as some Statesmen seem to wish), how maily would remain on provided for, and, after having long continued bothisitf ul and respectable, would be involved in distress, or errs ruin ! I therefore trust that a gradual and permanent sistein of re trenchment will be acted upon by the Government, arid steadily adhered to. With respect to the granting of offices in reversion, and thus anticipating the patronage of the Crown, it is a practice which cannot he too strongly condemned ; and it must be gratifying to the people of Great Britian, that, although their expectations may have been frustrated elsewhere, the House of Commons, in regard to reversions and sinecures. were not found wanting in their duty.' The ,enormous expenditure of the country requires, of course, that the circulating medium should be proportionally ext,nsive. I cannot but think (though I speak with great diffidence), that were the Bank compelled to resume cash payments, and its issues consequently diminished as much as its' own safety would require; if it were exposed to every de signing, or capricious call for gold, the present taxes could not be.paid, nor the transactions of private life carried on with equal convenience. I hope th:st this important measure, when considered during the ensuing session, will be discussed temperately, and decided wisely. . There is another subject, connected with the internal state of the country, which 1 consider to be of paramount import ance. Who can reflect, without admiration and light, upon the lain ors of those benevolent Institutions, which are actively employed in disseminating among the lower orders the inestimable blessings of religions aid moral improve ment? ‘‘ ho but must a •,ticipate resti:ts. the [float r,.ehil and interesting to humanity, from the general establishment of Schools, on a system nut less cheap run • edie.ent, as well from the universal ditlnsion of the Scriptures amongst the needy classes of the Comatunit ?
